Smart Water: Financial Drivers for Grid Analytics and Development

Thursday, May 19th, 2011, 9:00am - 12:00pm PT

Meeting in San Francisco

Lux Research estimates that Water IT will grow to become a $16.3 billion market by 2020. Water remains a relatively cheap commodity that is lost to leaks throughout the U.S. infrastructure: a $500 billion equation (EPA) that has no easy answers. As the threats of water scarcity intensify for some states, a new generation of water technology is emerging. How can sensors, servers, and analytics reverse the current of water efficiency? What will it take for IT to colonize a risk-adverse sector designed 100 years ago that obeys to five-year planning? The pioneers of water management technology will join AGRION at the intersection of Water and IT and ask: what is driving the demand for water smart technology? What is the tipping point for them to hit the market? What are the most promising investment opportunities?
